Can Eating Fruits Ever Cause health problems?
News 18Fruits are considered to be one of the healthiest foods you can add in your diet if you have a sweet tooth. Now, a group of researchers at the University of California San Diego say that excessive fructose intake can lead to leaky gut and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The researchers observed that high fat and high fructose diet has more severe effects while low amounts of fructose did not have severe effects, suggesting that excessive fructose intake over a long time affects health. The study also pointed out that restoring the gut barrier may be a good way to manage non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Besides, fruits are not our only source of fructose; a lot of fast foods contain high fructose corn syrup, which is used as a sweetener.
